01/6Celeb couples who parted ways but stay in touch to co-parent their children
Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao took to social media to announce that they were ending their 15-year long marriage with a divorce. Not only did they assure fans and well-wishers that they will continue to remain family, but they also mentioned that they will be co-parenting their son, Azad Rao Khan. The following day, Pooja Bhatt commented on the decision with a tweet that read, "Nothing new about co-parenting even after one decides to part ways as husband & wife. Relationships are not made/un-made on paper. They are written on one’s heart. Maintaining a relationship based on respect through and even after a marriage ends requires Integrity. Few manage that.'' Pooja's words ring true for many couples who couldn't stay together but maintain cordial relations with each other so that their children never bear the brunt of their fallout. Here are some Bollywood celebs who lead the way:
